I am buying a motherboard that supports dual channel RAM. Should I buy 2
256M DDR DIMMs to utilise this or just a single 512M one.
Thanks, Graham

You must have 2 sticks of RAM to utilise the dual channel mode.Graham said:I am buying a motherboard that supports dual channel RAM. Should I buy 2

DaveW said:A single 512MB stick will run as single channel. Two MATCHED sticks of 256MB
will run dual channel. You cannot just buy two sticks of 256MB RAM and be
assured of dual channel operation. They have to be IDENTICAL, meaning
tested together by the manufacturer.

Correct.

Correct.

Damn, I hope this isn't true. I just ordered four 512 PC2100 ECC
modules. They're from the same vendor and manufacturer, but I have no
idea whether they've actually been tested together!
